Iron Mic

He was the heavyweight king at the age of 21

From the streets of New York where they're all called mean

He never had no mom, he never had no dad

His aunt and Cus Da'mato was all he ever had

But he found his pot of goal, consequently came Givins

And when they broke up, it was him that was given

We like to build them up, but we love to see them fall

Finally taken down by a hooker five feet tall



I said you gotta set him free (x4)

When push comes to shove (x4)

He'll be standing above



It was a battle of brains, a battle of wit

So my man got his mad skills, Allen Durschwitz

But he left him out to dry, the judge was a fool

Using this case as a publicity tool

So it's off to the cell to meet the prision staff

The first thing they do, they want his autograph

And I just laugh cause he suffered the wrath

Now the man added time to his liberty path



I said you gotta set him free (x4)

When push comes to shove (x4)

He'll be standing above



I heard he gets a lot of visits, still he's got no family

But he gets a lot of love from the kids at Jodeci

What Desiree sucks man on his new TV

Same name bitch, but you look similar to me

But that's another story, I'm getting off track

Now when he gets out, I think you better watch your back

I said now when he gets out, I think you better watch your back

You may find yourself kid tagged and sacked



I say they gotta set him free (x4)

When push comes to shove (x4)

He'll be standing above



I say they gotta set him free (x3)

We gotta set that motherfucker free
